Needs to better her sole 2yo run but there's bundles of potential in her pedigree

0-5 but good handicap third last time and trainer won this in 2018 and 2019; solid claims

0-6 but runner-up three times and entitled to considerable respect on reappearance

Half-brother to 2 winners; likely to improve for this debut but no shock if he goes well

Bred to have a bright future but this newcomer might be one for further down the line
